PtS has an overcompressed quality to it that some people like because it sounds more like what they would get in mainstream pop and rock music. I don't think Toby wants that kind of sound with the compositions Kayo Dot has been doing

No, I believe the first song they released was stated as unmastered, don't know about Thief though.

The sound quality is already much better than on Gamma Knife and at this point it would be hard to compare with Part the Second, but they probably had more money to record PtS as, if I remember correctly, someone donated several thousand dollars towards it's production.

I dont understand what you mean that PTS is over compressed. It doesnt seem compressed compared to alot of music.

On the dynamic range database its got a pretty good rating, you won't find that many albums above 12: http://www.dr.loudness-war.info/index.php?search_artist=maudlin+of+the+well&search_album=

You can have great dynamics and still be massively over compressed.

I see what Triceratopsoil means, though I wouldn't say "over" compressed. Kayo Dot will always have a much more raw sound, it fits them better.

...I actually think Triceratopsoil meant audio, not data compression. PTS was offered in Lossless FLAC. And as far as audio compression goes, yes, it is much more dynamic than most records. So I'm not sure what he meant.

INVOLVED: Electronic/Ambient/Progressive music. A collaboration between member of the post-rock collective BATTLESTATIONS and I. Enjoy!

Tour dates! Emphasis added on the Atlanta date because I am so there.That venue is a converted barn, modified for maximum hipster appeal. I saw Ariel Pink there last year. It's gonna be soooo cool.

----------------------------------We are planning on touring this music as much as possible, beginning
with a leg down the Southeast US (and yes, including Florida!) for a
couple weeks from November 8-23.

Here are the dates, with more in Florida to be confirmed soon:

Sept 6, Brooklyn NY @ The Bell House with Sal Mineo (Eugene Robinson of Oxbow and Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu)Sept 14, New York NY @ Bowery Electric with Ahleuchatistas and Psalm Zero
